oh i love these photos! #2 would be my fave! :) my only critique would be to smooth skin less as it looks plastic and in #4 to clone out the telephone line and lights as they're pretty visible with DOF not being too shallow.

[Fyerfytr]

Thanks! gotcha on the telephone line, I was debating that also. There was a car there also that I attempted to clone out.

[Svetlana]

wow you did a great job with the car! :)

[Fyerfytr]

Thanks Svetlana, much appreciated....

I like the colors in these photos - very nice and warm. #3 is cute. #4 besides the utility line, the background is a little too sharp - nice pose from the models though. Oh, I agree with Svetlana that the skin is too smooth. My early engagement portraits also tend to have unrealistic overly smooth skin. Now I've learned to back off and let people look more real.

great set. i can't believe it's your first session.

[Fyerfytr]

Thanks all, yes I think the more I look at the one especially I will go back and re-do the skin softening.

Nice series, lighting is spot on! My favorite is #3. Could be labeled "Anticipation".

Thanks for sharing!
